Tostandoutin thecurrent 135-pounds division, a boxer needs to be ata superb level, as it is surrounded by rivals such asGeorge Kambosos Jr., Devin Haney, Vasyl Lomachenko, or Gervonta Davis. According to Ryan Garcia’s new coach, he has enough skillsnot to only conquer the category, but the whole boxing world. If a boxer can not ever be defeated, he would becomethe Great of All Time.
“I’ve always been a huge advocate of him, and I’ve said it in the past and atthe beginning of his career, and I’ll say it again – nobody will ever beat Ryan Garcia when he is at his best. As a trainer, when you have somebody of that nature, it’s incredibly inspiring and motivating.”, stated Joe Gossen to Boxing Scene.

I’m quite familiar with what he does… Ryan is really coming into his own and his real prime is right now. I think Ryan is just really starting to feel his oats. I think he’s going to be hitting harder than ever. The difference in strength is palpable for 23 going on 24 than 22 going on 23.”
